Sorry it took FOREVER to do this but here is my pride and joy!!
That's a nice looking car.What are the plans for it in the future?
Nice car. I really like it, but then again I suppose I should. It's like Deja Vu all over again. Here's my 88 when I bought it - yours looks almost identical, right down to the whitewalls!
Meh, another white Tbird... LOL
looks real nice................no engine in it?
no looks like it is just equipped with the Ford Off Road Appearance Stance they like to give cars.
Looks pretty clean. Any rust issues? What are the plans/Dreams (dreams are always more exciting to read!) for the car?
Looks good. Is it a V6 or a V8?
Mine had that package until about a month ago.
Hopefully, i want to keep it as original as possible but you know that doesnt always work out. i do have a craving to add a few things, such as a rear spoiler, hood scoop...but away with dreaming cuz i gotta fix under the hood first. Like i always say, dreams never die...just the dreamer :rollin: lol
LOL, i do have a weird facination with your car too!! :evilgrin:how long ago did u buy it? i got mine Aug 2007 and it did have a paint job done not too long before that...i like those white wallz :hick:
of corse there is...v6 3.8L, guess i should get sum pics of the block eh?
Me too. So glad its gone.
lol, those my greatest snap shots!! It looks nice on the outside, but underneath there are a few BUGZ...need new heads...
I bought mine March 31, 2003. It doesn't look much like that pic anymore. It now looks like a lowered Turbo Coupe. I've got to get some pics up on here of how it looks now...
So this is why the car looks so much higher in the front? It's just I've never heard of such a thing.
I can understand why Chooglin asked that question, it always looked high to me. So, you guys are saying that this was intentionally done by Ford as some kind of 'package'?
It was sarcasm. It was intentionally done, all right, but it wasn't part of any package. Fords just always seem to sit high, right up to and including the new Mustangs. What it really is, is that Salt probably doesn't have broken front coil springs, a rarity among Fox cars, and probably also has "sag butt", all too common among these things.
Okay.
Two, potentially dumb, questions. What is a "sag butt" and are you suggesting that the highness of the front may have saved the coil springs on the front? Because the coil springs are, in fact, in good shape.
Are u guys saying i have a saggbutt?? Lol, cougarxls bought me 2 new rear shocks earlier so it doesnt look that bad but i still like how she sits;)
Sag Butt is the gradual sagging of the rear springs. These cars are arse-heavy and the springs give up over time.
The highness of the front didn't save the springs, it's because of them. These cars all sat that high in front when new (that's the 4X4 appearance package people were joking about), but over the years most of them have settled down with sag butt and broken front springs.
Also remember that the wheel openings were made for tires ranging from 205/70R14 to 225/60R16. The 16" wheels will fill the openings better, and the 14" ones will make them look more "empty", resulting in a 4X4 look...
ahh... interesting, seriously. Makes sense. Thanks :)
